Me: So we go through the light?
Vicki: Yeah, we got through the light and make a left. This is where I go to the G-Y-N.
I was thinking, Why does she go all the way down here to go to the gym?? And, WHY is she spelling gym??
Me: What??
Vicki: This is where I go to my GYN. You know, OB? GYN? My OB-GYN!
Me: Ohhhhhh. I thought you said GYM. And I was thinking, why the hell are you spelling gym??
We laughed all the way past the GYM/GYN to the tarp place.
Either I need a hearing aid or I have to sign myself up for a Hooked-On-Phonics class!

Sound out the word girl - sound it out. I think I may be developing dyslexia. My boss kept spelling a name that ended in cup and I kept telling him it's not WarrenPuck - its Warrencup, he was spelling it right the whole time. I was listening wrong!

I see some interesting misspellings on surgical reports all the time. The most famous one is when I read, instead of a "below-the-knee amputation," the patient apparently had a "BALONEY amputation."
And no, his name was NOT Oscar Mayer.
Namaste.
